Dosage | Amounts to be administered and administration route Thoroughly shake the container well before use to ensure that the two active substances are homogeneously resuspended and therefore the animals receive the correct dose. Dosing must be carried out using a suitable gun system, at a rate of 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight levamisole hydrochloride and 15 mg/kg bodyweight oxyclozanide achieved by administering 2.5 ml per 10 kg bodyweight in cattle and 0.5 ml per 2 kg bodyweight in sheep. To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked. Animals should be dosed according to their individual weight, and not dosed as per the heaviest animal in the group, otherwise signs of overdose may occur (see section on Overdose). Do not mix with other products Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary Do not overdose. If recommended dosages are exceeded animals may exhibit signs of overdosage and toxicity. The effects of levamisole overdosage include impaired motor function, i.e. muscle tremors, head shaking, increased salivation, facial swelling, oedema, scouring and in most severe cases, death. Oxyclozanide may produce inappetence and loss of bodyweight, dullness and some loosening of faeces in sheep, and possible diarrhoea. The effects are occasionally enhanced in animals with severe liver damage and/or dehydration at the time of dosing. |
